Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Li Shimin didn't know that Changsun Wuji had already set his sights on him.

He took Qin Qiong's hand and began to chat with concern, not paying any attention to Changsun Wuji who was kneeling on the ground.

And Qin Qiong, because of Changsun Wuji's previous arrogance and persecution, was suppressing anger in his heart.

Seeing that he was being neglected by Li Shimin, it was too late to be happy, so how could he open his mouth to remind him.

After the monarch and his ministers exchanged pleasantries in front of thousands of troops, Li Shimin turned his eyes to Changsun Wuji, who was kneeling on the ground with a lot of sweat on his forehead, and said coldly:

"Auxiliary machine, why are you still kneeling on the ground?"

Changsun Wuji lowered his head, not daring to raise his head to look at Li Shimin.

He was afraid that when he raised his head, the other party would find the ambition and malice in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty. Please convict me."

"Oh, auxiliary machine, what crime did you commit? Why didn't I hear about it?"

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji casually.

At this time, he had already made up his mind to give his brother-in-law a good beating.

Hearing Li Shimin's knowing question, Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and suppressed the resentment in his heart. He trembled, buried his head in his arms, and then said in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, because I misjudged the situation of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes Allied Forces, I failed to detect in time that Cui Yingying had secretly controlled the Jiangnan Road, so I had reservations when pursuing the enemy, hoping to force the enemy into the Jiangnan Road. Join forces with the garrisons south of the Yangtze River and carry out siege at the lowest cost."

"Unexpectedly, the other party secretly set up Chencang, causing the guilty minister to make the big mistake of letting the tiger return to the mountain without noticing it. As a result, our army failed to completely annihilate the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes Allied Forces, and even allowed them to successfully control the two roads south of the Yangtze River. This crime is already unforgivable. , please convict Your Majesty."

After saying that, Changsun Wuji lay down directly and pressed his head firmly to the ground.

Li Shimin stared at his brother-in-law coldly.

To be honest, when he heard that the other party let Wu Xing Qiwang and Cui Yingying go without any harm, he really had the urge to kill.

Even if it weren't for the critical military situation in Shaanxi and Guoguan, he would have personally rushed back to Chang'an with a sword and cut the opponent into pieces with a thousand knives.

But now, when the other party received the report of Shaanxi and Guo watching the battle, they organized and dispatched reinforcements as soon as possible, which somewhat touched Li Shimin.

Moreover, the other party is Guanyin's brother and Gao Ming's uncle.

Now that the life and death of his queen and prince were uncertain, how could he kill their brother and uncle directly.

What's more, the Tang Dynasty is now in a precarious situation, and there are not many people available in his hands. If he kills Changsun Wuji again, who can help him in the big affairs of the court.

Moreover, as the other party was a civil servant, it was indeed a bit difficult for him to chase Cui Yingying and the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes Alliance Army.

What pleased Li Shimin the most was that when the other party heard that his sister and nephew were captured, he actually volunteered to come to this frontline battlefield, which really touched Li Shimin a little.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's eyes slowly became clear when he looked at Changsun Wuji.

With a sigh, Li Shimin waved his hands and said:

"That's all, auxiliary machine, you should get up first. I will leave you with the previous guilt for the time being. After this battle, I will deal with it based on your performance."

Changsun Wuji also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Li Shimin had let him go for the time being.

Originally, he was not planning to take this trip.

But for the sake of military power and to temporarily appease the courtiers and Li Shimin, he had to make this trip.

Otherwise, once his conspiracy is revealed and Li Shimin knows that he is preparing to support his troops, he will immediately turn the gun and eliminate him.

After all, the examples of the previous dynasty’s collapse are still vivid in our minds.

The Tang Dynasty had only been established for a long time, and some careerists and conspirators were still alive and hiding in the world.

If Li Shimin cannot eliminate the rebels as soon as possible, what he will face later is likely to be like the Sui Dynasty back then, when he faced the Eighteenth Route Army against the king.

Although the Tang Dynasty is already in turmoil, first Lingnan and then the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now even the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes have rebelled.

Although Datang has nothing to do with them for the time being.

But if he dared to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, Changsun Wuji believed that Li Shimin would take the lead in annihilating him at all costs.

After all, he can be regarded as a loyal ally of the Li family. If he turns against himself, then who can he trust in the Li family?

Moreover, as the biological brother of the current queen and the biological uncle of several direct princes, if Li Shimin could not kill him immediately and give an explanation to the world, then his emperor would have come to an end.

And it was precisely because of his identity that Li Shimin would not easily wield the butcher's knife against him.

After all, now I can be regarded as his right-hand man and the minister of the Tang Dynasty. If the other party kills me, he will cut off his own arm.

Changsun Wuji didn't believe that Li Shimin could be so stupid. In this precarious situation, he abandoned his martial arts and made others laugh in vain.

After understanding the key, Changsun Wuji lost his previous scruples and took the initiative to ask for help, leading an army and forcing Qin Qiong to come with him.

Sure enough, after meeting Li Shimin, the other party's reaction was exactly as he imagined, it was just thunder but no rain.

In fact, the other party just let him kneel down and make a fool of himself for a moment, then took the initiative to reveal his previous guilt and found an excuse for himself.

As for the other party's words about making meritorious deeds, Changsun Wuji didn't even listen to them.

Just kidding, is it difficult for a minister like him to make some meritorious deeds on this battlefield?

After quickly going through all the things that could happen in his mind, Li Shimin's calm words rang in Changsun Wuji's ears again:

"Auxiliary machine, this Great Zhou offensive is coming fiercely. This war may not end in a short time."

"In order to be able to defend Shaanxi Guoguan and to reduce the casualties of our army, I have thought about it again and again and decided to let you be in charge of the logistics of the three armies."

"The top priority now is to solve the problem of food, grass and weapons supply in Shaanxi Guan."

"Now, the food and grass in Shaanxi Guan can only last for another half month at most, and the weapons and ammunition in the city have long been exhausted."

"If we, the Tang Dynasty, want to defend Shaanxi Guoguan, we must have enough food and ammunition."

"So, I give you a difficult task, which is to mobilize all materials and fully support Shaanxi Guanguan."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, a strange color flashed in Changsun Wuji's eyes.
